What is Private Label Rights (PLR) and what is it for in relation to Internet Marketing? Private Label Rights is defined as:

“Content, particularly articles, E-Books and reports written by a 3rd party and made available for several purchasers to buy and use. These articles, E-Books, and reports can be used as-is or edited as the purchaser desires – within the guidelines of the PLR Company. Guidelines for use differ with each company.”

Every Private Label Rights company has specific guidelines of use statements on their websites. Some Private Label Rights companies do not allow subscribers to resell the content at all. Some allow the content to be resold but do not allow the purchaser to claim authorship or to claim copyrights to the work.

Most Private Label Rights companies, however, allow subscribers to do whatever they wish with the content which has been purchased with very few if any limitations. When articles, E-Books or reports are purchased from a Private Label Rights company (usually through monthly subscriptions), the purchasers (subscribers) may:

  • Change the title of the work
  • Edit the content of the work (add to it, take from it, revise it)
  • Add affiliate links
  • Claim authorship of the work
  • Submit the work to article banks or E-Book repositories
  • Use the work as free bonuses
  • Use the work as website content
  • Resell the work
  • Copyright the work

Those who are Internet business owners know very well that the phrase, ‘content is king’ is a true statement and it is one that website owners must take to heart if they are to succeed in the Internet business world. Website content must be constantly changed, improved, renewed and updated. You don’t just build a website and be done.

So, for this reason, website owners often buy Private Label Rights articles, E-Books and reports. They will simply change the titles, add a few of their own key words (for the purpose of search engine spider attraction), and post the Private Label Rights works on their own websites or provide them as free downloads for their website visitors or subscribers.
